I'm kind of carving out my own specialized niche in JFKA research, just in case you can't tell. I will be presenting at future JFKA conferences as "The acknowledged expert on all things bucket-related."
Here we have a photo of a bucket - THE bucket, enquiring minds want to know? - in Trauma Room One at Parkland. The caption says this is the bucket "used by Secret Service agent Samuel Kinney to clean up the back seat of limousine." Which he then took into Trauma Room One because "there might be something in the soapy mess the docs can use to patch up the boss." Ya think?
(Further research reveals that such buckets are called "kick buckets" in medical parlance, although we probably don't want to know why. You can still buy them from medical supply houses just to give the replica of Trauma Room One you created in your spare bedroom those little touches of authenticity that make all the difference. Jackie herself is reported to have said "Much as I appreciate the sentiment, a replica of Trauma Room One without a kick bucket is simply beyond the pale.")
